Love this app, have some suggestions for improvement

for potential users: I highly recommend trying it out. It can make a world of a difference

For developers: Thank you so much for making this app. I have a couple of requests:
1) I do wish there were more options for the frequency for beeps and for sounds like having my phone vibrate instead)
2) It would also be great if the results could be be presented as a graph so I could more easily see my improvement.
3)y The beeper app doesn't work reliably in the background/ if I am doing something on another app.

Minimal functionality

Why is it limited to 1h? Why don’t the prompts stop and require me to stop and attend to them? Even at low setting they’re too frequent

Please make Apple Watch app!

Love the app. Very effective. Was recommended by a therapist who said it helped with ADHD symptoms, of which I have many. Since using I have cranked out multiple essays and assignments. Really love the concept and how simple it is. Only gripe is that while it is very useful for tasks at a desk, I’d love to use it while working construction and other physical jobs as well, but don’t want to have my phone out all the time. You’d think that performing physical tasks one would be able to focus better, but not so. It is very possible to get distracted doing anything, physical or cerebral, with severe ADHD. If this were on Apple Watch as well it would change lives. Much more versatile and functional to use if you could have it both ways.

As a second gripe, now that I think about it, I also wish it would use banner notifications instead of forcing you to have the app open, so that you could work on the same device you use the app on.

Just food for thought. Thanks!

Fantastic!

I’ve been really trying to focus on writing during this pandemic and my mind is constantly wandering and anxious. This app is a life saver when it comes to staying on task. My writing productivity doubled and in half the amount of time. I would definitely recommend to anyone having a tough time focusing.

This is a great app to help anyone wanting to be better with focusing as well as those with adhd. App is simple and straight forward and not riddled with ads.
